Good point. We know that large shifts in mass, like huge landslides caused by earthquakes, can measurably affect earth's rotation. What happens when we start using multi-gigaton masses for energy storage -- that are within a couple orders of magnitude of those landslides -- in a cyclic pattern? I wonder if we could even get resonant effects.
